It was definitely worth stopping for. I almost got out of my car. Spotted in Kensington, md near capitol view road.

As an unenlightened calciphile, pray do tell what vision I cast mine eyes upon?

Is that one of the Northern Lights series deciduous azaleas ('Golden Lights', maybe) or some other celestial body fallen from on high?

Yea I'm not sure the cultivar but that would be a good guess. I took the picture to ask a pro so I will let you know.

It is a gorgeous deciduous azalea that's for sure. They love full sun.

Our reach should exceed our grasp...

You've set a threshold which central Kentuckians can aspire to. Here is but one endeavor to summit that peak.

It looks like Lemon Drop to me. I can smell it from here.

Well, that's what I get for only rolling down the window for a drive-by. Guess I'll have to go back for a whiff tomorrow.

You will probably have to put your nose right in it. Just be careful you don't get mistaken for this guy. Look but don't touch!
